Funny, Rick… we called in mandel bread in my family, too. And I can’t even hear the words without immediately thinking of Greenpoint, Brooklyn and the holidays.

Thanks, Nadia. Actually, my sister-in-law has my grandmother’s recipe. It’s good….but somehow just not quite the same!

Rick – This might not live up to the memory of your grandmother’s mandelbrot but it just might fill a hole. Check out http://www.marlasmandels.com/. I can’t vouch for it…but it does look pretty good!

You have hit upon a most important topic! I still miss my grandmother’s mandelbrot (or, as we called it, mandel bread..or to be still more precise, Mary’s mandel bread!)
Now I’m going to be thinking about it for th, at least, next 24 hours. And, fyi, biscotti doesn’t replace the real thing!
